Taking place on Sunday 10th July 2016, the course starts at Middle Walkway on the Promenade in Blackpool and takes a fast and flat 10K course around the coast of the town.

The business has changed dramatically since those days, however one thing that remains is the heritage and the passion amongst the Neve Fleetwood team – a truly passionate team of local people with theirroots firmly based in the fishing industry.
